I: What is happening to me?
My name is Alice and I am a young Lady, who just started her way in life. I am working as a maid for a local farmer in my city. He does not pay me much, but it is still better than nothing. With the money I earn, I support my father. I still live with him, because I did not find an appropriate husband for me so far. But I am only 22 years old and my father says, with my blonde hair, blue eyes and my attractive figur, I am a very beautiful woman and will have no worries to find myself a man. On the contrary, I must be careful, that men won't get dangerous to me, which is a problem for women like me. How right he is I will find out today. I assume my beauty is the reason for what will happen in a few moments.
The farmer I am working for had asked me to go down to the city and the market to buy potatoes, eggs, lettuce and a few other ingredients that I should cook later that day. It is the middle of Octobre and the winter is about to came, you could foresay that easily. The meadows are frozen in the mornings and it is very cold. The farmer's daughter had to take his horses and his carriage today, so I had to walk down to the city. I hurried over the market and bought everything as quick as possible, because it is so cold and I do not enjoy this weather. Now I am walking back to the farm and I am already out of the city. Only ten minutes footway left and I am at the farm and can warm myself up in front of the fire, before preparing the meal. Behind me horses and a carriage approaches and I walk down the road to let the travelers pass. Then I turn and see, what kind of carriage this is. A cage carriage approaches with several women inside. An unconvenient feeling rises inside me and I don't want to watch at the captured women. I don't know where to watch, so I just stare at the ground until this carriage is gone. But that is a mistake. The carriage does not disappear. Too late I recognize, that it stops next to me and the guards descend from it to walk towards me. When I see them walking to me with fierce eyes I am getting scared.
"Hey, what do you...", I start but I cannot finish the sentence. One of them hits me very hard in the face and I drop the basket with the food in shock. The eggs breaking on the floor and for a moment, my greatest concern is, if the farmer will be angry with me. But then my arms are hurtfully hard hold tight behind my back and someone put my wrists in heavy iron shackles. In this moment I realize terrified, that I am getting arrested here.
"What is happening? What have I done wrong?" I try not to panic, but it is difficult. This situation is very bad.
"The city guard is supposed to bring you to the prison. Everything else you will be told there."
As my shoes and socks are taken away, I try no longer to fight back. Even if I have done nothing wrong it is not a good idea to start a fight with the city guard. It would not support my reputation as an innocent person and I would have no chance of winning anyways.
Now heavy shackles are placed around my ankles as well. Walking is very hard with those. As I am lead to the carriage, I feel the bitter coldness on my feet. Inside the cage, I am forced to sit down on the ground.
"Put your head, against those bars, you slut", says a guard in a cold, aggressive voice. I cannot believe, what I am hearing. How can he call me this terrible word? But once again, I decide that it would be better, to not talk back.
Around my neck a steel ring is shackled, which is then again chained with a very short chain to the bar. With my hands behind my back and my neck chained like that, I can hardly move. Was that necessary? I am a normal farm maid, not a dangerous murderer. The carriage rumbles off, now with one prisoner more - me - and I wish I would be rid of that ring around my neck. With every rumble, it rubs very hurtfully, because it is so tight, that it even is not very easy to breathe. I look at the other women as good as I can and see that they all are totally scared and some even sob. I am very afraid too, but I have no urge to cry. As soon as I am in the prison, I will answer the questions I am asked, make my point clear and tonight I will be at the farm again. The farmer won't be pleased, that I lost the food, but it is not my fault.
After 15 minutes, we finally reach the prison and I am glad. By now, I am so cold, especially my naked feet, that it hurts. Before the gates, we stop. The door of the carriage is opened and my ring unlocked.
"Out there, you sluts", somebody yells. One after another of us climbing down the carriage. When it is my turn, I fell over, because it is difficult to climb down the carriage with shackled feet and I land on the cold, hard ground. Somebody grab me under the arms and pull me back on the feet. "Are you stupid, to walk you whore?" As a punishment I am getting a punch on the head.
This hostile atmosphere makes me sick and I feel dehumanized, being hurried around like cattle. I am ordered to move through the prison doors as something terrible is happening. A woman behind me suddenly panics and try to run away, but soldiers on horses are behind her, capturing her again in a few seconds. Then the poor woman is being pushed down on the ground by three soldiers. Two more come and take her left leg. One is holding it tight, while the other stamps on it hard. With an ugly sound, I hear the breaking of the bone. A few seconds later, I also hear the right leg breaking. A terrible fear rise in me now. They had just broken both legs of a woman, just for trying to escape. These men are brutal. Am I really safe?
The guards lead us through the gates in a row, the screaming woman with the broken legs is carried over the floor. Inside there is an entrance hall with windows, but somehow it is still pretty dark and intimidating. I can't wait to leave this horrible place. In front of all of us, there are a man with brown hair, beard and muscles of around 36 and a young pretty black haired woman of maybe 28. They are talking with the guards about what the women are here for and in which cell they should be brought and then the women are lead away, one after another. Finally, it is my turn.
"Uhm, excuse me..." I start but the man interrupts me.
"Name?" He is talking to the guard, who is giving my name. "Arrested for witchcraft, take her down to the second lowest floor, near the torture chamber."
A shock runs through all my body, making me feel numb. Now I do start panicking. From one moment to another. I had to remember the words I just heard. Witchcraft... torture chamber... I have to explain myself immediatly. "Please Sir..."
"Off to the dungeon with that whore", he says coldly and a guard grab me by the arm, walking through corridors and he does not care if I am able to keep his pace. My shackled feet allowing me only limited space to walk and I am more falling than walking. I am pushed downstairs into deep levels, where the only light is coming from torches. Finally, the guard is leaving the stairs and drags me through the corridor. Left and right are barred cells and in them I see more captured women and all of them are in a horrible state. Dirty, bloody, some unconscious (or dead???) and I wonder, if this is going to happen to me. In front of an empty barred cell we stop. The guard is taking out a knife from his pocket and cuts all my clothes of from me. Entirely naked I stand there. It is the most humiliating situation in my entire life and I am horrible embarrassed. I can't look this man in the eyes. But I can feel, how his greedy stare is examining my naked tits and ass.
"In there with you" he barks at me finally.
Sir please", I say with shaking voice. "This is a mistake. I am an innocent maiden, I swear."
He ignores me, grabs my naked flesh and pushes me into the small cell. I try to stay on my legs, but once again, the chains around my feet are to short and I fall down. He is grabbing the chain between my hands, dragging me to the wall and attach it to another chain hanging from the wall. Now my hands are shackled above my head and I sit defenseless in the corner. He leaves my cell and shut the barred door, leaving me behind. Now I am in this place. A witch. With my naked skin, I feel the dirty stone all around me and the icy coldness. I can't stop shivering, I am so cold. A rat is walking around in my cell and I feel disgusted. From the other cells around me, I hear women sob and now I can't hold it back longer. I lower my head and tears running down my face. Suddenly a woman starts to scream. Her voice is so full of pain and terror, that it shudders me. This must be coming from the torture chamber. I realize that they are going to do this to me as well and my screams will thunder through this corridors as well. In this moment it becomes clear to me, in what a dangerous and terrible situation I am. And that makes me sob even heavier
